2.3.1 Determining the LSF Cluster Name and the LSF Execution Host
The lsid command returns the LSF cluster name, the LSF version, and the name of the LSF
execution host:
$ lsid
Platform LSF HPC version, Update n, build date stamp
Copyright 1992-2008 Platform Computing Corporation
My cluster name is hptclsf
My master name is lsfhost.localdomain
In this example, hptclsf is the LSF cluster name, and lsfhost.localdomain is the name of
the virtual IP address used by the node where LSF is installed and running (LSF execution host).
2.4 Getting System Help and Information
In addition to the hardcopy documentation described in the preface of this document (
), the HP XC system also provides system help and information in the form on
online manpages.
Manpages provide online reference and command information from the system command line.
Manpages are supplied with the HP XC system for standard HP XC components, Linux user
commands, LSF commands, SLURM commands, and other software components that are
distributed with the HP XC system, such as HP-MPI. Manpages for third-party vendor software
components may be provided as a part of the deliverables for that software component.
To access manpages, type the man command with the name of a command. For example:
$ man sinfo
This command accesses the manpage for the SLURM sinfo command.
If you are unsure of the name of the command that you need to reference, you can enter the man
command with the -k option and a keyword, to get a list of commands that are related to the
keyword you entered. For example:
$ man -k keyword
The MANPATH environment variable is a list of directories that the man command uses to find a
manpage. You may need to add to your MANPATH variable to identify the location of manpages
for additional software packages.
